What's Cooking At The Madhouse ? menu plan week 1

 


And here we are back at week 1- time for new beginnings and hopefully a goodbye to coronavirus too. I didn't do a menu plan for the final week as we were eating leftovers and nibbles. Time to get back on track. Sophie is still with us at the moment - she would have gone back normally but with Hastings entering zone 4, I don't even know if she can travel down from London. With Brexit thrown into the mix, we'll work it out next week ! :-/ Here's this week's plan. I'm going back to posting my plans on a Saturday, but this might swap to a Sunday - I can't work out if it's easier to plan then shop (good if they've got everything I need - and as my freezer is back up and running, I'm thinking this will work) or vice versa. Lots of family-friendly dishes from BBC Good Food this week.

Saturday

lunch- tacos

dinner- pasta with leftover taco sauce

Sunday 

lunchChicken, bacon and potato stew with green beans, mushrooms and carrots added

dinner- big mixed salad with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, mushrooms, bacon, onions, olives, .... and whatever anyone else can find in the fridge !

Monday

dinner - Meatball & garlic bread traybake with homemade coleslaw

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

lunch - One pan egg & veg brunch for me & Sophie, leftovers for Pierre


Friday

Saturday

lunch- omelettes (leftovers for Pierre)

dinner- spaghetti carbonara

  2. Last week was lovely eating leftovers and snacky food. We finished the last of it tonight.
    It must be nice having Sophie still with you.
    Hooray that your freezer is back up and running.

    1. The meatball and garlic bread dish was a unanimous winner - clean plates all round !

  4. Personally I find that planning then shopping works well, and I just have to make adaptations if needed. If I do it the other way around I end up wasting some bits or buying too much!
    Happy New Year & thanks for linking up!

    1. This is true. If I had the time, I'd sit down and plan two weeks meals in advance but that never seems to happen !

  5. There is a lot of amazing sounding meals this week. We loved the sound of the pie as well as the chicken stew for sure they may be ones added to our meal plan in the future.

  6. The meatball and garlic bread tray bake would be a total winner with my kids. Sounds like a good week of food. Sorry for slight delay in commenting. Lockdown threw me for a loop
